Manchester City vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Some of the passing in our approach play is really lovely to watch. The change in this group in the past year is nothing short of miraculous.

Disappointing from Traore there. In these conditions, zing that across the box

[Toronto Villa]

I can't believe the improvement in Targett, he's a different player to a year ago.

He’s been superb. And whereas last year talk of England was borderline ludicrous, he’s absolutely in that conversation now. Really excellent improvement.

[Risso]

WTF was that Traore?

[TonyD]

Come on Villa
Come on Villaaa

[Dave]

Terrible waste by Traore

Shows what some game time can do.

Jack and Ross are developing into something quite special when we're on the attack.

[ktvillan]

Traore having a bit of a shocker at both ends so far.  Bound to score then

[Dave]

Now Walker goes off.

[Gerrin]

Cancelo giving us big problems. Matty Cash getting his toughest test tonight

He's causing loads of problems. We look so much better with Barkley in the middle and Grealush on the left, sorry El Ghaz.

[Skerra]

I’d take Traore off at half time. Just doesn’t seem to be with the pace of this match at all.

[pelty]

Prefer El Ghazi to Traore personally.

[jwarry]

They’re good but so are we

[Risso]

They’re good but so are we

Yep, unlike last year we don’t look out of place at all.
